Despite the fact that its origins have remained a mystery since it first appeared, Dutch Treat is a cultivar famous in Amsterdam’s coffee shops. Some sources credit the breeders of Jordan of the Islands in Vancouver, British Columbia, with developing Dutch Treat.
According to reports, the cultivar, which is thought to be a cross between Northern Lights and Haze, produces cerebral effects with citrusy aromas and sugary sweet flavors.
Dutch Treat is said to require little maintenance and to be extremely resistant to diseases and pests, making it a relatively simple plant for inexperienced growers. The short, bushy cultivar blooms in eight to nine weeks, by late September when grown outdoors in the Northern Hemisphere, or by March when grown outdoors in the Southern Hemisphere.
Despite being short and stocky in stature, Dutch Treat, according to Jordan of the Islands, produces high yields.
